Ingredients

 

MetricImperial

• 1 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 200 g plain flour
• 1 tsp black onion seeds
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp plain yoghurt
• 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

• In a small bowl, mix the yeast and sugar with a tablespoon of warm water to activate.
  1 tsp active dry yeast, 1 tsp sugar
• Leave for 5 minutes in a warm place until frothy.
• Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix the flour, onion seeds, salt and baking powder. When the yeast is frothy add it to the flour with the oil and yoghurt.
  200 g plain flour, 1 tsp black onion seeds, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp plain yoghurt, 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• Knead the dough with slightly wet hands folding as you go. If it feels a little dry add some milk and continue to knead. Once it’s nice and soft cover with cling film and leave it in a warm place to rise for at least 1 hour (but longer if possible).
  2 tbsp milk
• Turn the grill on to heat up and divide the dough into four balls and place on a floured surface. Roll each into a tear shape about 0.5cm / ¼ inch thick.
• Heat the frying pan and place the naan onto it for a couple of seconds to brown on one side.
• Transfer to a baking tray (seared side down) and place under the hot grill for 2-5 minutes and watch the magic as they puff up.
